Parker Manor Resort
A modest Clearwater Beach motel where the location does the talking
A motel in Clearwater Beach
Parker Manor Resort is a 2-star motel in Clearwater Beach, Florida. The name says resort, but the category is motel, and that sets the right expectation: a simple, budget-friendly base rather than a full-service property. What it has going for it is position. Eight places to eat or drink sit within about half a kilometre, from Taco Bus to Jimmy's Fish House & Iguana Bar, and guests rate the location above almost everything else. The 4.8/5 rating comes from 146 guest reviews.
Who it's a good fit for
A basic 2-star motel with a strong location and well-kept grounds, priced and run for travellers who plan to be out most of the day.
Best for

- Guests who value location over amenities
Less suited to
- Travellers wanting resort facilities

Walkable Clearwater Beach setting
The motel sits within easy walking distance of Clearwater Beach's dining strip. CKs Eats n Drinks is about 240 metres away, BareFoot Beach House and Ice & Cream Creamery are under 350 metres, and Shephard's Beach Resort bar is roughly half a kilometre. Transit options are close too.
Grounds guests actually notice
Nature is the second most-praised theme in guest reviews, with 62 of 63 mentions positive. That points to greenery and outdoor space that guests find worth commenting on, unusual for a 2-star property. The pool gets a clean sweep too: all 16 mentions are positive.
Kept clean, run simply
Cleanliness scores 44 positive mentions out of 46, and service 40 out of 43. For a motel at this level, that consistency matters more than any amenity list. Guests describe a property that is looked after rather than flashy.
